Users of wheelchairs, crutches and other assistive devices are delayed until more than two years to return the money it has cost them to buy them, as the Committee has reported today representatives of organizations of persons with disabilities (Cermi) of the Community of Madrid. The Madrid Health Service provides grants for the purchase of equipment orthotics, prescribed by a physician, so that users buy the material and then apply for a refund. The Cermi has received "numerous complaints in recent times" of disabled people benefiting from this aid. The delay is "huge", he adds, because sometimes it takes more than two years to repay the money.
"The administration should stop this immediately, which is unsustainable for many users, since after being forced to make the initial investment has to wait for reimbursement by the public service," said Cermi in a statement. The organization notes that in many cases people who use these aids "are in the lowest levels of income so they are unable to access different funding provided by the health of their region."
The delay "is inconceivable and unacceptable for a group that has low income," says Cermi
The committee adds that explains the reason for the delay since the budgetary allocations for these grants are approved for each year. "Unless you have spent money on other issues," he says. It so happens that there are users who are waiting for aid exceeding EUR 3,500, as in the case of acquisition of electric wheelchairs, says Cermi. Also remember that the problem is not new and has vindicating many years. The delay "is inconceivable and unacceptable for a group that has low income," he concludes.
The Madrid manages grant applications for the purchase of equipment orthotics, prescribed by a physician specialized care National Health System. The materials are those referred to in the portfolio of common services of the NHS, particularly in the orthotics, material catalog.
The Ministry of Health denies that there are delays in reimbursements two years. "Currently all payments are paid for 2010 and early 2011," said a spokesman COUNTRY questions. "The Ministry of Health of the Community of Madrid is making a great effort, given the current economic situation, to make a refund as soon as possible, to pay all applicable amounts. And indeed, now running continuous payments," he adds.
